ATTACHMENT FOR PENCILS.

Application led October 1, 1923.

This invention relates to an attachment for pencils and has for its primary object the construct-io-n of an attachment whereby slips of paper or other articles may be con- 5 veniently carried upon the pencil.

An object of the invention is the provision of an attachment for carrying articles necessary in the use of the pencil.

Besides the above my invention is dis- 10 tinguished in the novel manner of constructing and associating parts so as to form a compartment while at the same time supporting a ruber tip which may be removed.

With these and other objects in view the 15 invention will be better understood from the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying` drawing wherein:

Fig. l is a side elevation of the attach- 20 ment shown in applied position.

Fig. 2 is a sectional view on the line 2 2 of Fig. l.

Fig. 3 is a sectional view on the line Sw-B of Fig. l.

Fig. 4 is a sectional View on the line l-Ll of Fig. 1.

Again referring to the drawing illustrating one of the many constructions of my invention the numeral l designates a casing forming a compartment 2 having a neck portion 3 for engagement at the end of the pencil. This casing slidably receives a receiver l having one end open as indicated at 5 for the reception of the rubber tip 6. The neck portion 3 of the casing serves in a secondary capacity to limit positioning of the receiver 4 with respect to the casing 1. The receiver is further provided with an opening 7 whereby ready access may be had to the paper slips 8 arranged in the co1npartment.

Serial No. 665,971.

From the foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing it will be apparent that by sliding the receiver from the casing possession may be obtained of the paper slips so that notes may be made and the slips returned tol the receiver for future reference.

In the drawing I have shown paper slips in the compartment but I wish it to be understood that when the attachment is connected to an automatic pencil, pencil leads may be arranged in the compartment.

It is, of course, to be understood that vario-us other articles may be arranged in the compartment depending upon the practical use of the pencil.

It is, of course, to be understood that the invention may be constructed in various other manners and the parts associated in dierent relations, therefore, I do not desire to be limited in any manner except as set forth in the claim hereunto appended` Having thus described my invention what I claim is receiver slidably received by the casing and I including a longitudinal opening and a re duced end portion adapted to receive an eraser, said receiver and said casing being movable longitudinally in opposite directions with respect to each other to expose P said opening, said reduced portion of said casing serving to limit positioning of the receiver with respect to the casing.

In testimony whereof I aiiiX my signature.

HARRY J. MAAS.
